Lot Information

Description

A bottle of Glenlochy 26 Year Old. This was distilled in 1969 and bottled at cask strength for Diageo's Rare Malts series.

Glenlochy was built in Fortwilliam in 1898, a time of recession in the whisky industry. It fell silent during World War I and subsequently struggled in the difficult post-war economic conditions. The distillery was modernised in the 1960s, but suffered again in the early 1980s, a time that saw many distilleries being closed. Glenlochy was demolished in 1986 and is now offices and flats.
